Note A - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.

Note B - Change in Method of Accounting for Income Taxes

     Effective August 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes to comply with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
(FAS 109).  The new Statement requires a liability approach for
computing income taxes.  As permitted under the new Statement,
prior years' financial statements have not been restated.  The
cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 was to increase net
earnings by $2.2 million (8 cents per share).
     Significant components of deferred tax assets and
liabilities at August 1, 1993 were as follows:  (Thousands of
Dollars)

Net Deferred Tax Assets                      $ 4,703

Note C - A two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100
percent stock dividend was declared by the Board of Directors on
January 21, 1994 to shareholders of record on March 16, 1994. 
This split will result in the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock and the reissuance of shares of Common Stock held in
treasury.  All per share and certain share amounts have been
adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

A.   Financial Condition

     Cash flow in the second quarter was a negative $0.1 million. 
Net earnings, adjusted for the cumulative effect of the
accounting change, plus depreciation, fully funded the Company's
capital expenditures, dividends and stock repurchases in the
quarter.
     
     Working capital, excluding cash, increased $2.2 million in
the quarter.  The increase was primarily related to a decrease in
income taxes payable.  Accounts receivable and inventories were
basically unchanged during the period.  

     Capital expenditures of $5.1 million in the quarter and $9.3
million year-to-date are within the Company's 1994 capital
expenditure budget of $20.0 million.

     In the second quarter, the Company repurchased 93,200 pre-
split shares at a cost of $3.8 million, or $41.20 per share.  The
Company currently has Board authorization to repurchase an
additional 818,200 shares (on a pre-split basis).

     At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $31.7
million of cash and cash equivalents, $28.9 million of total
debt, and a capitalization ratio of 13.8 percent, up from 12.7
percent as of the end of the first quarter.  Debt increased in
Europe in the second quarter as the Company's Belgian
Coordination Center borrowed to factor additional European
receivables.

     The Company believes that operational cash flows should
continue to adequately fund long-term capital needs, but external
funds will be used as necessary.

B.   Results of Operations

     Second quarter sales of $135.6 million were up 8 percent
from prior year sales of $125.0 million.  Net earnings of $6.2
million were up 19 percent from prior year net earnings of $5.2
million.  Earnings per share, restated for the two-for-one stock
split declared on January 21st, of 23 cents were up 21 percent
from 19 cents per share the prior year.

     For the six-month period, sales of $278.1 million were up 11
percent from prior year sales of $250.7 million.  Before the
cumulative effect of the accounting change, earnings of $13.8
million were up 20 percent from prior year earnings of $11.5
million.  Restated for the stock split, earnings per share of 50
cents were up 22 percent compared to 41 cents per share the prior
year.

     In the first quarter, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," which increased earnings by $2.2 million, or 8
cents per share.  As a result, net earnings for the six-month
period were $16.0 million, or 58 cents per share. 

      Worldwide sales by market for the second quarter were as
follows:




($Millions)            1994    1993   % Change

OEM                   $ 63.7  $ 56.0     13.8%

Aftermarket             19.8    17.3     14.5 

Defense                  3.7     5.1    (27.5)

Exhaust Filtration       2.0     2.7    (25.9)


 Engine Products      $ 89.2  $ 81.1     10.0%


Dust Collection       $ 21.0  $ 21.0       - %

Gas Turbine Filtration  14.4    13.5      6.7 

High Purity Products    11.0     9.4     17.0 

 Industrial Products  $ 46.4  $ 43.9      5.7%

Net Sales             $135.6  $125.0      8.5%

     In Engine Products, domestic OEM and aftermarket sales were
up 21 percent and 19 percent, respectively.  As expected, defense
sales are down from the prior year, but both sales and backlogs
have plateaued at current levels.  The Company completed the
final shipments of diesel particulate traps in the second
quarter.

     In Industrial Products, domestic dust collection sales were
up 9 percent while overseas sales declined 22 percent due to the
continued economic weakness in Germany and Japan.  Gas turbine
systems overseas sales were up 33 percent in the quarter. 
Domestic high purity products sales were up 30 percent due to
increased VOC abator sales and the additional revenues from ENV
Services, Inc., the service company acquired at the end of the
second quarter of last year.

     Second quarter gross margins of 28.0 percent were up from
last year's margins of 26.8 percent as margins improved for all
of the Company's businesses.

     Operating expenses as a percent of sales in the quarter
increased year-over-year from 20.7 percent to 20.8 percent.  This
year's results, however, included the recognition of warranty
reserves for the diesel particulate trap in excess of those
recorded last year.  Excluding those additional reserves,
operating expenses would have been 20.1 percent of sales in the
second quarter.

     Other income and interest expense were basically unchanged
from the prior year.  The Company's effective income tax rate
increased from 35.6 percent last year to 36.4 percent this year,
which reflects the 1.0 percent increase in the U.S. statutory
income tax rate.

     Though still facing difficult operating conditions, Brazil's
operating losses in the second quarter were less than the prior
year and should continue to improve on a comparable basis in the
second half of the year.

     Total backlogs of $145.3 million were up 14 percent from the
same period last year and 5 percent from the end of the first
quarter.  Hard order backlogs -- goods scheduled for delivery in
90 days -- of $95.8 million were up 14 percent from last year and
10 percent from the end of the first quarter.
